CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I know in RM it was rarely like that... and it wasn't only because of Cris... so yeah, his teams don't play like that anymoreWell his Chelsea team played exactly like that. We'd score a goal or two and kill the tempo of the game and deny the other team from creating chances which is exactly what happened today. Apart from that mess in the box after the corner, Hull didn't have a single real chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Lukaku was a wall today. Everything that went to him bounced back even harder lol. Torres was meh but did link up well in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 If this was last season, we would have found a way to throw that 2 goal lead. Good start, hopefully another 3 points on wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good first game, 3pts matter, and the boys are looking sharp.We rarely went into the second gear and let's give some credits to Hull, they played very well in the second half, miles better than Crystal Palace.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm positive we'll play the same team unless Mata and Luiz are fit. If that's the case Kevin and Cahill are off.I think 4 or 5 players at most of the players who started today will start on Wednseday. If anything, the game against united will tell us more about who Jose prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrippingStep 336 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Are people really complaining about the second half? Do you even know Mourinho?! Well, I coudn't see the first 30 minutes, so for me it wasn't great as I miss all the action from the match.And besides that, i would have prefered a boring match with us in possession of the ball.And I'm not a big fan of Mourinho. But if we have at least 80 pts in the premier league, good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Lampard and Oscar were our best two players but a very convincing and easy win and the 2-0 scoreline flattered Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that mess in the box after the corner, Hull didn't have a single real chance. His Chelsea team dates from 6 years ago... the season is just starting, the players don't want to pick on injuries, I doubt we'll see much of that. Mourinho isn't the sme coach he was 6 years ago. He himself says it a lot, and it's not only about his persona, it's about his view on the sport as well. RM went to the kill in the second too many times.Don't expect to see the bold part around, especially with the players we have. I'm sure about it. Give the team a month or so and I'm sure it'll be more like Madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NishC300 1,865 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Iva had 6 touches in Hull's box and Torres had 1 Clear sign that Iva wants to run in behind the defence. Provides us 1 more outlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good result, but the midfield was passed through FAR too easily by probably the worst side we'll play this season.Hazard was almost invisible for large parts of the match as well which was strange.I can guarantee you Hull will not be the worst side this year.
